It was developed by the company Hanomag in 1938, based on the artillery tractor Sd.Kfz.11, with serial production starting in the summer of the following year. The Sd.Kfz.251 armoured personnel carriers were produced in four main variants—Ausf.A, B, C, and D—and there were 23 different versions for various army needs, differentiated by their armament and equipment. The 251\/1 variant was the standard transport vehicle for the German motorised infantry, capable of carrying one squad of soldiers. These combat vehicles were in service with the German Army throughout World War II and were used in all theatres of combat, with a total of 15,252 units produced in various series and modifications. Among other armoured personnel carriers produced during World War II, they were second only to the American M3 in terms of quantity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.B was the second variant in the line of these armoured personnel carriers, with production beginning in the second half of 1939. Several changes were made to the vehicle’s design, mostly related to technological improvements, with the primary modification being the removal of observation slits on the side walls. Production of the Sd.Kfz.251 Ausf.B continued until the end of 1940. Notable operations in which they participated include the occupation of the Balkans, Operation Barbarossa, and combat operations in North Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures precise armour hull geometry based on original prototypes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed interior for both troop and control compartments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be assembled in multiple configurations: with or without machine gun shield, radio equipment, and antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes decals and colour schemes for different markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings Available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSd.Kfz.251\/1 Ausf.B, 9th Panzer Division (9.
